I've not been here for a while because I've been very busy. Crafting. At last. After the mad rush of Christmas and the fact that most of my craft stuff gets put away at Christmas, I have finally got started again. It takes me a while to find things again and get back to where I left off.
I got my Journalling cupboard opened up yesterday and got started again. I had to get past all the junk that had been thrown in there to tidy up quick. I must get properly sorted in there. It'snot easy to work when things just end up falling down on you! I don't really have that much inspiration at the mo, but just by painting backgrounds, at least i'm doing something creatitive.
I'm also getting on with my Extreme knitting. I love it. Watching the blanket grow so quick is just brill, but it is a heck of a workout for the arm muscles, and it's easier to knit standing up than sitting down. I have also started another Blanky. Same idea as the extreme knitting but with 3 strands of wool and on thinner needles. More like a baby blanky and much easier to transport around!
I've also begun another Patchwork cover. It took me ages to get started. I've never made one from scratch before (by this I mean making the templates and having to measure everything up properly),It is a rather complicated one( for me it is!) and I just hope that I can get it finished soon. I make my patchwork by hand, not machine. I prefer to hand sew everything. I'm not keen on machines at all. By hand sewing, it means that i can do it anywhere.
When I get myself properly organised, I will take some pics of my work and get them up here.
